HC Deb 18 June 1918 vol 107 c166
31. Sir J. BARRAN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he can now announce the result of the further deliberations and decisions of the Army Council foreshadowed by him upon the further reduction of the meat ration for certain classes of men in the Home Forces who are engaged in sedentary work?

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid I can at present add nothing to the answers I have previously given with regard to this subject.

Sir J. BARRAN

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how soon he expects to be able to announce something?

Mr. FORSTER

No; I am afraid that I cannot name any date.
